One Dollar. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the only
medicine of which this can be truly said;
and it is an unanswerable argument as to
the strength and positive economy of this
great medicine. Hoods Sarsaparilla is made
of roots, herbs, barks, ETC., long and favorably
known for their power in purifying the blood !;
and in combination, proportion, and process,
Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar to itself.
For economy and comfort we use Hoods
Sarsaparilla." Mrs. G. BREWSTER, Buffalo.
"Hoods Sarsaparilla takes less time and
quantity to show its effect than any other
preparation ever heard of. I would not be
without it in the house, MRS. C. A. NJ.

The Eisl.erics Legislation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9-Several democra-
tic members OF the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs had IN interview with the
President 20 day i'll connection with the
retaliatory fisheries legislation now pending
in Congress. The interview was strictly
confidential. The President sought to i'm
press upon the members Of the committee
the necessity of making very clear and free
from ambiguity any measure relating to the
subject of the fisheries which Congress
might SEQ fit to pass. If there was to be any
legislation on the subject, he said, it should
state definitely whether railroads and ali
other carriers were to be included in the
prohibition. While the President did not
commit himself to any legislation on the
subject the gentlemen present gathered
from his remarks that as between the two
bills he favored the House bill for the reason
that it IS more explicit and mandatory in its
character

Tariff Corresnondenca.

Speaker Carlisle received two letters yesterday,
one signed by Hons. ]. s. Henderson, Geo. d. Wise,
and Samuel ]. Randall, in which they demonstrate
with the Speaker for refusing on Monday to re-
cognze a member to move under suspension of
the rules, the repeal of toe tobacco tax. They
say:
Your refusal TO give this recognition, together
with your letter of the 9TH instant, deserves more
than passing notice. If twothirds or more Of
the House are in favor of such repeal, it was
grave responsibility for you to oppose such large
majority Of the representatives of the people. As.
Stunning, however. for the sake of the argument
that the friends of the proposition constitute
less number than two thirds, their strength is
certainly such that they ought to have been per-
mitted to test the sense of the House upon the
question: especially since the country is watching
with intense interest the action of the House in
spect thereto, and the constituents of large num-
Der Of the members of the House have been urg-
ing them to obtain If possible, consideration of
the subject. . . democratic caucus
cannot successfully deal with the whole subject
of revenue reduction at this late stage OF tho ses
sion. That suggestion canes too late. II the
caucus could have controlled the legislation OF
the Forty.nnth Congress from the beginning, the
country might have been much better off.
We are ready to join in reducing
the tariff all articles that are above the limo of
difference in cost of production and on those
things on which the rate OF duty is now above
that line thus permitting monopolics to be formed
to arbitrarily raise prices to the consumer with
out bone filing labor We think it the imperative
duty of Congress to reduce the tariff 50 as to pre-
vent the possibility of monopoly combinations to
pat up prices above the competing point.
The other letter is response to Mr.. Carlisles
set of propositions for a compromise measure aud
closfs as follows:
"In accordance With your fourth suggestion,
that in case no ether arrangement Is arrived
at, upon reasonable notice motion he made
to 20 into Committee of the Whole on bill 9, 1O2.
introduced by Mr.. Randall at the last session of
Congress I'VE have TO say that due notice will be
given of the time when ii is proposed to make
such motion. SO that it may be generally known"
